Additional Information Regarding Job Qualifications/Requirements:
Happy Hollow Farm, LLC engages in a unique form of direct-to-consumer produce distribution (150 member Community Supported Agriculture, CSA, Program), as well as year round weekly farmers markets, which requires of employees a knowledge and judgment level significantly above industry standards. This knowledge and judgement can only come from experience working in the pack house. For example, employees will be required to sort, clean/wash and pack a number of different varieties of fresh greens within a narrow range of quality standards (unlike conventional lettuce for example, which is picked and shipped out of the field). They will be required to pack highly perishable varieties of numerous different types of salad crops - not in the conventional 24 count leaf lettuce box- but in boxes of mixed produce where they can easily be crushed or otherwise damaged. They will spend large amounts of time grading & sorting numerous different types of root & storage crops for cosmetic and structural defects and suitability for delivery to very high end customers. This skill alone can take weeks to develop, even for an employee who has months or even years of experience.

|---|---|
| Paid | Biweekly |
| Housing type | Employer-provided (including mobile or range) (Jamestown, Mo) |
| Housing | Worker housing is located in close proximity to employer housing. The employer regularly checks in with employees about any maintenance issues required for upkeep to housing. In addition someone with Missouri's Department of Higher Education & Workforce Development, makes annual visits to the farm and checks on housing conditions during these visits. |
| Meals | A fully stocked kitchen with all necessary cooking supplies/utensils is provided in the apartment for all meal preparations as well as laundry facilities (washing machine and drier) in the apartment provided. The workers are also provided with a 4 door sedan style vehicle, with 5 seats & seat belts, as well as a driver (when needed) for transportation to and from town for purchasing supplies, groceries, etc. at least once per week. This transportation for daily subsistence is provided at no cost to the employees. Happy Hollow Farm follows an anti-retaliation policy. employees are informed of this policy upon hire and are encouraged to provide feedback on worker housing conditions at any time. Retaliation against employees who raise or report concerns is counterproductive to the business and hurts the carefully-established employer-employee relations on the farm. |
| Daily transportation | There is no need for daily transportation as the housing provided is on the same farm as where the work is performed. |
| Travel to the job | The employer will pay or reimburse for charter bus services or other modes of transportation from their home to the farm in Jamestown, MO and back home at the end of the work contract, to all groups of workers. Workers may select any means of transportation they choose and the employer will reimburse workers at no less than the most economical and reasonable common carrier transportation charges for the distances involved. |
| Pay deductions | Employer will deduct all required Federal Taxes for foreign workers, and reasonable repair costs for damage, other than normal wear and tear, may be charged to worker or workers found to have been responsible for damage to housing or furnishings. No deductions will be made which will bring the employees hourly wage below the Federal Minimum Wage.
